ORNAMENTED EMBROIDERY AND PROCESS 0F MANUFACTURING SAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 741,302, dated October13, 190:3. Application filed May 5, 1903. Serial No. 155,745. (Nomodel.)

T0 ctZZ whom t may' comccrml Y Be itknown that I, ERNEST ULRICH BUFF, acitizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Herisau,Switzerland, have invented newand useful Improvements in OrnamentalEmbroidery and Process for the Manufacture of the Same, of which thefollowing is a speciiication.

According to the processes hitherto employed for applying tinselornaments or ornamentation (in which expression I include spangles,artificial gems, imitation jewelry, and the like) to embroidery thetinsel ornaments have been sewed onto the front side of the embroidery.Ornamented embroidery so produced has the drawback that the edges of thetinsel ornaments projecting beyond the embroidery are very liable tocatch in fabrics, laces, and the like with the result that vthe tinselwas broken off or the fabric or lace was torn.

Now according to the present invention, which has for its object toobviate the abovementioned drawbacks, the tinsel ornaments are notfastened direct on the embroidery, but are inserted into pockets oreyes, the front of which forms part of the embroidery and is providedwith one or more perforations behind which the tinsel ornaments aresituated.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate by Way ofexample a -way of carrying out this invention, Figure lis a view of apiece of ornamented embroidery according to this invention. Fig. 2 is apart sec- Fig. 3 is a similar section of a modification.

In the ornamented embroidery shown in Figs. l and 2 a are perforationsin the embroidery, behind which are arranged tinsel ornaments b,consisting, for instance, of imitation gems of glass. These ornamentsare held by means of pieces c of fabric situated behind them, which arefastened to the embroidery proper by means of stitches sewed round thecircumference of the ornaments b. These pieces of fabric form the backside of pockets or eyes, into which the tinsel ornaments are inserted,the front side of these pockets or eyes being formed by the embroideryitself.

The process for the production of Athe hereinbefore-described ornamentedembroidery is as follows: The embroidery is made upon a corrodiblesubstance or material capable of being subsequently removed by suitableetching or corroding agents. Then'behind the embroidery afabric isapplied,between which and the embroidery the tinsel ornaments areinserted. The tinsel ornaments and the applied fabric are then fastenedto the embroidery, after which the corrodible material is removed byetching, and the applied fabric is removed by cutting away the same:around the tinsel ornaments.

The fastening of the applied fabric may be effected,for example,rst bysewing or stitching partly around the places where the tinsel ornamentsare to be placed, so as to enable the tinsel ornaments to be insertedinto the spaces inclosed between the embroidery and the applied fabricby the said sewing or stitching, whereupon the stitching is completedaround the said ornaments.

In Fig. 3 a tinsel ornament d, consisting of a disk, is shown by way ofexample instead of the projecting cut-glass ornament shown in Fig. 2.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my saidinvention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare thatwhat I claim isl. The method of making embroidery which consists informing the design upon corrodible material, making pockets or eyestherein, inserting ornaments in the pockets and securing aretaining-piece under the pocket to hold the ornaments in place,substantially as described.

2, The method of making embroidery which consists in forming the designupon a corrodible material and with pockets or eyes, placing ornamentsin the pockets, sewing beneath the embroidery and ornaments and aroundthe pockets or eyes a fabric, dissolving the corrodible material andcutting away the fabric except under the pockets, substantially asdescribed.

3. Embroidery having pockets or eyes formed in the design, ornaments insaid pockets or eyes, and a retaining fabric secured beneath theornaments to the pockets or eyes, substantially as described.

4. Embroidery having pockets or eyes formed in the design, artificialgems placed 5 in the pockets and a retaining fabric beneath the gemseWed to the pocket or eye, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

ERNEST ULRICH BUFF.
